***Straight from dad's email***
CHEMO is DONE as of today ! Two more once a week checks with Chemo Doctors, but we made it !
This entire Chemo thing would NOT have gone as well as it did were it not for Nurse Billie (RN,BSN,OCN). I can't give her enough praise for just how cleanly treatment went.
Rad work on Friday had to be modified as they want another CAT Scan (did that today) just to be sure of exact beam alignment for next 10 blasts. Should see that series start on Wednesday.
Both Rad and Chemo docs continue to express pleasure with my progress. Gained one more pound, Blood work still within where it should be, lost a few more hairs, treatment schedules are getting easier to manage, and my mental health remains positive.
My next gates are: RAD resumes mid-week, Chemo Doc followup on the 9th & 16th. Rad should end with the 17th treatment. We'll know results 30/45 days or so after. Cross our fingers.
